Frobester Sep 2012 11:21am, 14 Sep 2012 20,785 posts	0 Frobester I was recently sent, unsolicited, some samples of the For Goodness Shake race fuels (one gel, and one concentrated powder you add to water). Has anyone had any experience of them, in which case are they any good, or should I just let the dog take his chances with them? Cheers...

Not used the drink mix yet, will give it a go on Sundays LSR

Frobester Sep 2012 11:57am, 14 Sep 2012 20,787 posts	0 Frobester I prefer the powdered versions PH - you can choose when you make them up, I recently threw out a couple of ready-made ones (Vanilla) which, on opening, were dark brown....!
